Do we think that CRS direct TC will get back to us before easter ?

Anyone applying to Winckworth Sherwood direct tc- how did you find the interview

 

[lawapplicant]

I'm gonna wait to hear until Wednesday and then drop them an email

Don’t. Just wait

 

[EM23]

Is there a page for advice on how to get a TC from your vac scheme?

I’m still waiting for a verdict on my initial application. Did not know people had interviews for this already

Anyone heard from Hogan Lovells, post WG Test ?

I don't understand Shoosmiths' criteria, I was unsuccessful for VS after the strength test stage, but got an email saying that since I've applied for TC as well, I will hear after screening. They say that I don't need to do the test if I've already done it, so does that mean they will consider me for TC based on the test that was unsuccessful for VS 🙃

I’ve just had an email from shoosmiths about my tc application (just that they are processing it etc) but the grad recruitment advisor that the email was from works in a different office to the one I applied. Does this mean anything?

No - it doesn’t mean anything.

I just got the same email… I think it means they’ll look at the application first and then if they like it they’ll look at the test we did for the VS. But it is weird considering we didn’t get an offer after the same test. Do you know when they’ll be telling us if we got to the test stage for the direct TC?

No idea about the date for the test but it does say shortly. Do you think you'll do the test again if the link allows you to reattempt?

I think I’ll email and ask them if to do the test again as I’m not sure what’s best… I’ll let you know what they reply!

I think everyone got the mail from the Shoosmiths Grad Recruitment Team- including those who got offers for the Vac Scheme.

Anything from Baker McKenzie for the Summer VS yet? (for the ones who attended one of the final few ACs)

Interesting. The grad rec sounded very optimistic about wrapping up the communications by the 31st or today in case of an unlikely delay.

Baker summer vacation scheme offer! So excited! Huge thanks to the whole TCLA community

 

[Samir_O]

for virtual AC exercises, is it recommended to take notes on paper or can typing your notes be fine? (e.g. for group and individual exercises)

whats the typical etiquette ?

 

[Slawrelated]

[Slawrelated]
